Tim Howard

Even at the age of 35, Howard remains pivotal and ever reliable for Everton. The club are building for the future with the likes of Joel and Stanek, but in the short term at least the answer is definitely still the American as number one. Howard has now racked up an impressive 10 clean sheets in the Premier League and continues to offer consistency between the posts. Couple this with a resolute back line and you can begin to understand why Everton are such a solid team defensively.
